As increasingly horrific reports continue to emerge about the fate of dissident Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi, shocked friends of the missing Washington Post columnist are vowing to push for justice on his behalf.

A well-known journalist in his home country, Khashoggi — a one-time insider with the ruling House of Saud — had grown increasingly critical of the policies imposed by the country’s 33-year-old de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS.

“He knew he was in danger,” says David Ignatius, Khashoggi’s friend and Post colleague. “He felt he should not go back to Saudi Arabia.”

In the United States, Khashoggi soon took up a column for the Post, where he continued to criticize bin Salman.

He was aware that his work was being translated and read overseas, colleagues say, and that his views provoked ire in some royal quarters. “He was often scared,” Ignatius says. “He was worried.”

Attiah says Khashoggi was “excited” and “proud” to have the platform of the Post.

“Still,” she tells PEOPLE, “it was painful for him to have to write about the repression in his country. He said Saudi Arabia was always harsh, but never like this.”

An impending marriage was enough to send the usually wary Khashoggi — whom friends describe as “lonely” — inside Saudi territory abroad, to the consulate in Istanbul.

What happened after he entered the building more than two weeks ago is still the subject of official dispute, though Turkish authorities, quoted anonymously in various news articles, have described a grisly end orchestrated by the Saudi government, apparently in retribution for Khashoggi’s open criticism.

Saudi authorities, meanwhile, previously denied any wrongdoing and said that Khashoggi had left the consulate that day unharmed.

It remains unclear if the crown prince had any direct knowledge of what happened to him, though some sources have reportedly said it would be unlikely he would have been unaware given his position.

The case has cast a harsh light on the U.S.’s years-long, if controversial, support of Saudi Arabia. Various politicians, including those in the Trump administration, have sounded their concern. (Khashoggi was a legal U.S. resident.)

While officials scramble to address what has become an international crisis, the missing man’s friends and colleagues agonize over his fate — and vow to find answers.

“I hope that this story turns out to have a better outcome, but with this much time and no answers, it seems increasingly unlikely that he is alive,” Attiah says. “I hope I’m wrong.”

Says Ignatius: “I’m hoping and praying, but more and more it’s looking like he was killed and in a horrible way.”

Khashoggi’s Post colleagues remember a tall man who was amiable and engaging, with a “sweet moon face” and a “gentle” spirit.

On his values, though, he could be stubborn.

“He had an inability compromise,” Ignatius says. “He believed in telling the truth. Some people don’t know how to compromise. He was one of them.”

In the wake of his vanishing and reported death, Attiah says, she is re-reading Khashoggi’s columns that she herself edited.

“He put himself in the feelings of other prisoners sitting in cells,” she says. “Now that we’re all imagining what was going through Jamal’s mind, I wonder: Did he overestimate how safe he was?”

Attiah keeps going back to the day Khashoggi walked into the consulate and her first inkling that something wasn’t right.

“That morning I was brushing my teeth and I thought, ‘I haven’t talked to Jamal in a while,’ ” she recalls.

She senses now that she will never talk to Khashoggi again.

“The truth is Jamal is not here,” Attiah tells PEOPLE. “The truth is he went into the embassy and never came out.”

Like lots of designers, Zac Posen wears many hats. In fact, he says it shakes out to 16 collections a year. He designs for Brooks Brothers; recently updated the uniforms at Delta Air Lines; released a cookbook; judges on “Project Runway,” and released a documentary. But it was his namesake label that started it all.
To present that collection for spring 2019, Posen is once again forgoing a traditional runway show — something he has done for several seasons — in favor of images and a film. The difference this season is that the film has a more narrative- and character-driven feeling. Gia Coppola shot the piece, with Maya Hawke as muse. To Posen, Hawke was more than just a subject — both she and Coppola are close personal friends, and Hawke, who was looped in and confirmed while he was still designing the collection, helped to influence his designs for the season. So spring 2019 was a family affair.
“The original Zac girl is a creative free spirit. When I think of my early muses, this collection has almost come full circle to that idea. It’s not grande dame, or overt glamour, there is a new side to it,” he says

Charity and Suzy Q have been through a lot — but at least they have each other.

Pit bull mix Charity and Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua mix Suzy Q were recently seized from their former owner, along with two other dogs, and brought to Mississippi’s Jackson County Animal Shelter, where they quickly caught the eye of adoption coordinator Maridee Bond Mallette.

“Every time I pass, they’re always laying together in some new, adorable position,” she tells PEOPLE of the bonded pair.

Charity and Suzy Q were brought into the shelter in sorry shape. Mallette said both dogs arrived from a “bad situation” dirty, skinny, infested with fleas and battling demodex — a parasite that lives in the hair follicles and causes hair loss. Charity is almost completely bald.

After coming from all this negativity, it seems Charity and Suzy Q have found one positive: they’re together.

And things are only getting better. Staff at Jackson County Animal Shelter, which serves the county and its surrounding cities, have bathed the dogs, trimmed their nails and provided them with the care they desperately need. The canine companions will soon be on their way to Third Coast Rescue, where they will be able to receive even more attention and work on finding a forever home.

Since this pair is obviously bonded, Jackson County Animal Shelter and Third Coast Rescue want the dogs to eventually be adopted together. Before the buddies move to a new home, they will be fully vetted by the rescue and placed in a foster home to heal and grow their hair back.

Once Charity and Suzy Q are their best selves, they can start the exciting process of finding their perfect pet parents.

When Zappos employee, Callie, and her son moved from Oklahoma to Las Vegas, they felt something was missing. It was during Zappos’ Pawlidayz weekend when they decided to adopt a pet from the local animal shelter. This is her story about a cat named Pepper. Join us during Pawlidayz to find your furrever friend!

A pure white cat, Angel was literally a bright spot in her family’s life.

So when Angel escaped from her Pensacola, Florida, home and went missing in September, it was a dark time for Heather Howell and her 4-year-old daughter Charley, who is blind and battling brain cancer.

According to WEAR, Howell searched for the cat and went to Facebook for help, desperate to reunite Charley with her furry best friend.

“We went to the shelter a couple of different times and looked and called them several different times. I looked on Pet Harbor, I probably looked on that thing once a night,” said Howell.

It ended up being by chance that Howell found Angel again: She spotted the stunning cat on Facebook being adopted by another family. Angel was reportedly surrendered to a local shelter by individuals claiming to be the cat’s owner, and the shelter then put the sweet cat up for adoption.

Eventually, Howell was able to get in touch with the family who adopted Angel and explained the situation to them.

Even though Vanessa Hilliard adopted the cat for her own daughter, she immediately understood that Angel belong with her original family.

“I believe if anyone was in our position or predicament would’ve done the same thing,” Hilliard said.

The Hilliards hand-delivered Angel back to Charley so they could watch the adorable reunion play out in real-time.

If they had any doubts about where Angel belonged, the cat’s reaction made it clear that they made the right choice.

“That was the calmest she was since she’s been with us when she heard her voice,” Hilliard said about the cat’s behavior upon seeing Charley again.

The study was published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, and it found that men and women look at different body parts when assessing people.Allure

Prince Harry was just another fan in the crowd at a music festival over the weekend.

The 32-year-old royal was spotted at the British Summertime Festival in Hyde Park on Saturday night, where The Killers headlined the show. Donning a button-up blue shirt and baseball cap, Harry casually drank beer and snapped selfies with pals.

Noticeably absent from the festivities was his girlfriend of over a year, Meghan Markle. The 35-year-old actress is most likely at home in Toronto, Canada, where she films Suits.

Note: this is a spoiler-free review of the first season of Friends From College, which premieres on Netflix on July 14. I’ll discuss basic plot and character details but avoid getting too deep into specifics.

By all rights, Friends From College should have been right up my alley. The latest addition to Netflix’s sizable lineup of original comedies was co-created, co-written and directed by Nicholas Stoller (of Neighbors and Forgetting Sarah Marshall fame). It features a very talented cast that includes Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother), Fred Savage (The Wonder Years) and Billy Eichner (Difficult People). And as someone who’s farther into his 30s than I’d care to acknowledge most of the time, I can certainly see the appeal in a show about a group of friends pining for the excitement and simplicity of their college years. But that formula only works when viewers can connect with this cast of disaffected 40-somethings. And for whatever reason, Friends From College seems intent on painting its characters in the worst light possible.

The mother of Beyoncé and her husband of two years Richard Lawson enjoyed a night out Friday, donning ’70s duds for a disco-themed bash to celebrate friend A.C. Collins’ birthday. And the couple had no problem getting down on the dance floor.

“When your favorite song of all times comes on ‘Drifting on a memory There’s no place i’d rather be than with you ! Yeah Than loving You,’ ” Knowles Lawson, 63, captioned a video of the twosome, quoting lyrics from The Isley Brothers‘ 1975 hit “For the Love of You.”

A bride kicked a popular wedding convention to the curb — and the results are pretty adorable.

Rebeca Sinohara, a 24-year-old computer-engineering student from Itajubá, Brazil, was a little bummed before her wedding. She wanted to take getting ready photos ― the pics that are typically taken of the bride and her bridesmaids as they primp for the big day ― but she didn’t have any close girlfriends to ask.

“Of course I have girlfriends from childhood and high school, but we are not as close as before,” Sinohara told Buzzfeed.

She did grow close to five of her male classmates during her time in college, so she asked her bros to stand in for the pics. Her buddies were game, and even donned pretty pink robes for the shoot.

(Story continues after the photos.)

Sinohara posted the photos to her personal Facebook page on May 16, where they got a lot of attention and soon went viral.

And the wedding? It went off without a hitch.

“The wedding was simply amazing,” she told Buzzfeed. “Renato and I share a great love, and it’s easy for people to see and feel that when they are around us. It was a very simple and intimate event, and everything was planned just the way we like.”

A-list celebrities came from all around on Friday for an event to raise awareness of the American Civil Liberties Union’s work ― and as you might expect, they used their time on Facebook Live to take a few shots at President Donald Trump.

“Earlier tonight in what is surely an April Fools’ joke, the president proclaimed that next month will be national sexual assault awareness and prevention month,” joked Tina Fey. “So now we know what he gave up for lent ― that’s good.”

Other celebrities took turns poking fun at Trump as well during the ACLU’s March 31 “Stand For Rights” benefit. “SNL” cast member Colin Jost quipped that Trump had “somewhere between one and four years left in his term.” Titus Burgess stated his belief that “the president and vice president think LGBTQ is a subway line filled with too many Puerto Ricans.”

Many of us know Cole Sprouse as Cody Martin on “The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody” or Jughead on “Riverdale.” But before he moved into The Tipton or became best friends with Archie Andrews, Sprouse played Ross Geller’s son, Ben, on “Friends.”

“Because ‘Friends’ is on Netflix, there’s a renewed interest in [the show],” Sprouse told the New York Post. “Having responded to a Disney show for such a long time, people can call me ‘Ben’ on the street and I will turn around.”

Sprouse also mentioned that he had a big-time crush on one of his adult co-stars.

“I had a really, really hard time working with [Jennifer] Aniston because I was so in love with her,” Sprouse admitted. “I was infatuated. I was speechless ― I’d get all bubbly and forget my lines and completely blank … it was so difficult.”

Sounds like the Geller men have a type!

We’re loving Sprouse’s recollections from his time on the show. Though he might be Jughead now, he’ll always be Ben to us.

Allison Williams, while making the rounds for Jordan Peele’s psychological thriller “Get Out,” has been as tight-lipped about the film’s twists as one might expect. Williams plays Rose, the white girlfriend of main character Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) who invites him home to meet her family, where events take a dark turn.

But she hasn’t just been hiding the dramatic plot of the movie from the public.

“I’ve also been completely lying to my friends and family about the premise of the movie ― for almost two years now,” she told The Huffington Post during an appearance on the “Here to Make Friends” podcast. “When my friends asked me what it was about ― this is how I said it in press, too; I basically did press as Rose, which doesn’t help the suspicion that I might just actually be a psychopath in real life ― I basically said, I bring my black boyfriend home to meet my parents, I assume they’re going to be totally cool with it, and then when he gets there, things start to go weird, and then it quickly becomes us against the world, and I have to choose between my family and my boyfriend.”

“Literally people I’ve known for my entire life, I was like, this is the premise of the movie… and then they’d get out of the movie, and they’re like: ‘I have to talk to you for two reasons. One, our friendship is over. Two, I loved the movie.’”

As those who’ve seen “Get Out” realize, Williams’s spoiler-free summary leaves out a major turning point in the film: when Chris, and the audience, realize that Rose is in on her family’s malevolent scheme to lure young black men to their home, hypnotize and entrap them, and transplant white clients’ brains into their victims’ bodies. Her charming, “woke” persona has all been a pitch-perfect performance, carefully geared to specifically appeal to her thoughtful, artistic boyfriend’s needs.

Williams told HuffPost that she’d already been sold on the script by the time Rose appeared on-screen for the first time. The opening scene follows LaKeith Stanfield as a young black man walking alone in a white suburb, a scene Williams pointed out is reminiscent of the shocking killing of Trayvon Martin in 2012. “After I read that scene, I was like, ‘I don’t really care who Rose is, I definitely want to be in this movie,’” she said.

She, like many in the audience, was caught by surprise when she first encountered her character’s psychotic turn. “I was reading the script, and I was like, ‘Rose seems great! She seems totally fine,’” she admitted, laughing. “Then I got to the end and I was like, ‘Now I have to play her. This bitch is crazy.’”

“A lot of white people don’t see it coming,” Williams told HuffPost. “And then they try to talk themselves out of it. ‘Maybe she’s been hypnotized too.’”

Check out Allison Williams’ full interview with Here to Make Friends on the podcast ― the discussion of “Get Out,” which is spoiler-heavy, starts at about the 40-minute mark:

“But the one thing that’s certain— is that there is no way she is going back to ,” the source says, citing previous reports that her former boyfriend is trying to win her back. “She moved on months ago. He keeps trying to convince her he should have another chance but that door closed months ago. That door is not only closed, it’s sealed.”

A source close to Lopez previously told PEOPLE that things are heating up for the musical pair.

“Jen is looking forward with excitement to the new year. She keeps hanging out with Drake, and he has visited her house,” the source said. “She has nothing but nice things to say about Drake.”

Last week, another insider told PEOPLE the duo were just friends and were working on music together, but also spending plenty of time together.

And while Lopez, 47, and Drake, 30, have not officially commented on their hangouts, both stars have shared photos of each other on social media.

And the Lopez source said that while they “do work on music together,” the pair also “clearly enjoy each other on another level, too.”

“Jen loves the attention and she seems very happy to be spending time with him,” the Lopez source continued. “Drake is very charming. He treats Jen with lots of respect. She seems very smitten.”

Kardashian made a visit to the hospital where Bonelli was staying on Friday to give the baby boys their “first kiss” and pose for a series of black-and-white photos, which Bonelli compiled into an adorable Instagram video.

Talk about troubled Willis DeLoach or gossipy Melinda Bowman. Who needs friends like these! And then there’s Billy Wong, a Chinese-American boy who shows up to help in her grandmother’s garden.

My colorful, creative collection of friends consists of liberals, conservatives, assorted thespians, some town criers, recovering journalists, and a few agnostics. I enjoy our online conversations, and we usually resolve any issues with a virtual toast of wine and some salacious jokes. But last week, all hell broke loose on social media when anyone commented for or against the results of the national election. Several times, I had to scrape the manure off my eyeballs and go take a shower.

The rancorous election turned some of my funny, positive, middle-aged friends and associates into hate-spewing demons who threatened eternal damnation to anyone with an opposing opinion. Because I’m too old and chubby to fight, I decided to offer some innocuous images that made social media popular: photos of funny animals. Just for extra fun, I added exact quotes from some of the more vitriolic comments. I didn’t include the profane remarks because we’ve all seen them and choose not to see them again.

The most popular demand was, “Unfriend me now!” I assume the friend had the power to quietly unfriend me, but it was more dramatic to make a statement on the Internet. I think this funny horse doesn’t care, and neither do I.

Sometimes the comments are ugly and intended to hurt. My friend received this retort on Facebook after she dared to post a non-threatening remark. She is a sweet, funny grandmother and couldn’t understand why anyone would be so mean. Bless her heart.

Frankly, some of us are getting tired of the unjustified and untrue name-calling. Just look at this cuddly little hamster. She just wants to play and wiggle. Be like that.

Another friend received this “Shame on you!!!!” comment on her Facebook page. She’s the one who received the most exclamation marks of all the retorts because people were blatantly mad about her opinions. This laughing bulldog thinks humans are weird.

I received a message instructing me not to get smug after I wrote something positive and negative about each candidate. My accused smugness could have been applied to either or neither. It was all too confusing.

This exaggerated message was sent to my friend, the sweet grandmother. She didn’t know how she could possibly torture anyone, let alone dismantle their family. She decided to delete her post and go back to sharing photographs of flowers and kittens. She wonders how things got so offensive. Her left eye is still twitching.

After the dust settles and we all go back to breathing without exhaling steam, we can tiptoe back onto social media and be midlife friends again. I miss our online chats about empty nests, full schedules, tight budgets, and loose skin. We’ll get more involved in the political process so we can endorse better candidates in the future, and we’ll work together to help instead of hurt each other. I want to laugh again. We can’t allow the animals to have all the fun.

It came like a thief — 10 months almost exactly from the day she was diagnosed until the day she left us. Cancer has a way of doing that, robbing its victims and their families of health and freedom. One day we’re doing life together, making plans for the future — and the next we’re fighting this battle and eventually saying goodbye.

I never imagined I’d lose my mom this way or so soon. I couldn’t have planned or prepared for it. Her fate swooped in like a thief and took her away before I ever had the chance to fully realize what was happening.

And because of my faith I stand with peace and continue to hope but still…

This Mother’s Day, I am — for the first time — a mom without a mother. I will receive cards and gifts and lots of love, but I cannot give them. I cannot express my gratitude, despite her imperfections, with lavish love. I cannot thank her for all she taught me about being a mom, both good and bad. I cannot share how much she’s impacted my life, as a mom and a wife and a woman.

So dear friends who still have their mothers,

Whether you walk extremely close or there’s a valley of difference between you, reach out to your mother this week.

Whether you see eye to eye or you can’t agree on much of anything, look your mother in the eyes if you can and tell her how special she is.

Whether she’s loved you well or lacked in affection, tell her how much you appreciate her and linger in love through words or embrace.

Whether she’s been your role model or she’s shown you what not to do, tell her how much you’ve learned from her.

Whether she’s been a near perfect mother or a much less than perfect one, she’s still here and that fact alone leaves so much potential for you both.

Call her, embrace her, surround her with your love whether it comes easy or along with tons of baggage.

Reach out for reconciliation if you are estranged.

Reach out in compromise if you are indifferent.

Reach out with time and attention if you are busy.

Reach out with affection if you are reserved.

Reach out with generous love even if you already do it regularly.

This time last year, I never dreamed I’d spend Mother’s Day without my mom. Please, don’t let another day slip by without connecting with yours.

Happy Mother’s Day, friends. May you find grace to give and receive so much love.

Nothing could BE more exciting than the Friends reunion that was announced this week. Getting all six Friends back together in the same room seemed about as likely as the Holiday Armadillo coming to your…

MY PRETTY PONIES: Designer Emma Hill unveiled Hill & Friends on Sunday with a sumptuous breakfast in the Claridge’s ballroom and a parade of pink, print and a pair of lively ponies.
The event, where models dressed as bellboys carried her bright, punchy bags on silver trays around a table piled high with pink food, marked Hill’s return to fashion after leaving the creative helm of Mulberry in 2013.
The show also featured Hill’s nine-year-old son dressed as a bellboy riding a luggage trolley, and two much less well-behaved miniature Shetland ponies, who broke into a canter mid-way through their stroll around the room and raced backstage, dragging their obliging walker behind them.
The high-energy Hill, who loves her animals, even had a hot pink shovel at the ready in case there were any more surprises.
“Life’s too short – we wanted to offer up a bit of fun,” said the designer, who showed six styles in various combinations. The bags feature a signature lock at the front that’s shaped like a smiley face, with clasps for eyes. When the bag is locked, the eye appears to be winking.
The bags come in bright leather, leopard-print hair calf, and patchworks of the two, and in

“Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends,” currently showing at the Met, is a virtual vade mecum of l9th European culture, as seen from the perspective of the great and often quirky transatlantic portraitist. There is Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth (1889) and a sketch of Yeats (1908). The impressionist style of “Claude Monet Painting by the Edge of a Wood”(1885) shows Sargent’s mirror neurons at work. Henry James, whose novels provided a similar, albeit fictionalized portrait of European cultural life, is pictured with his thumb in his coat. Edmund Booth (1890) is the subject of a characteristically “dramatic” portrait. Rodin, who he painted, called him “the Vandyke of our times.” The curators point to the fact that his portrait of Madame X (the expatriate Madame Pierre Gautreau), shown bare shouldered in a sensual black gown with silver straps, was deemed scandalous and resulted in Sargent’s departure for England. “Dr. Pozzi at Home” (1881) evinces a similar swagger in its use of an ecclesiastical red to capture the estheticism of a renowned gynecologist. But it’s the poses that really distinguish these portraits. The current exhibit underscores the connection to Frans Hals’ “The Banquet of the Officers of the St. George Civic Guard,” (1616) in Sargent’s painting of the artists Francois Flameng and Paul Helleu, with Flameng staring straight out and Helleu in profile. Sargent takes a similar tact in the painting of the children of the playwright Edouard Pailleron with Marie-Louise facing out with a look of self-possession that verges on possession and her brother Edouard staring away in distraction. In a “A Dinner Table at Night” (1884) his subject Edith Vickers commands our attention while her husband Alfred’s profile is cut short, drifting into oblivion at the edge of the frame. James and Sargent may have admired each other greatly, but looking at the current exhibit one begins to ask who was the novelist and who the painter? They both had similar themes but James painted with words and Sargent wrote novels in oil.

My mother’s best friend Pippa is a very attractive lady. She has long wavy brown hair, blue eyes, a nice tan, and an exceptionally fit body for a 44 year old woman. Even though she dresses in a very classy and sophisticated manner for her career in real estate, she also likes showing off her sex appeal, wearing tight fitting clothes, as well as skirts and dresses which show off her legs. She has a vibrant and outgoing personality, which has helped a lot in her career and has made her popular in many different social circles. She had been through a terrible divorce and it wasn’t long before my mother asked her to move in while she recovered and tried to make sense of her life. That was some time ago. In the recent years that we’ve been living together, I couldn’t understand why she was never in a serious relationship, despite men practically throwing themselves at her. However, all of that was about to change…

Au revoir, Mr. and Mrs. Theroux: Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux—who married at their Bel Air home last night—boarded a private plane earlier today to jet off on their honeymoon. The bride and groom both…

You’d think after working with someone on a hit TV show for 10 seasons, you’d probably invite them to your super secret wedding - especially if that TV series was called “Friends.”

Well, 11 years after the show ended, it looks like Jennifer Aniston isn’t quite as good of friends with some of her former castmates as others. Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer were all absent from the 46-year-old’s wedding to Justin Theroux last week, and that’s because they weren’t invited.

Meanwhile, LeBlanc didn’t score an invite to the A-list event, which was held at the couple’s mansion in Bel Air, either, but he reasoned that it was likely because the wedding was “small.”

He only had good things to say about his former co-star, and seemed happy that Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow were there. “The girls were there. You’ve got to have the girls there,” LeBlanc told “Entertainment Tonight.”

Aniston and Theroux married last Wednesday in front of about 70 people, including Howard Stern, Jimmy Kimmel, Ellen DeGeneres, Orlando Bloom, Chelsea Handler, Cox and Kudrow.

Are playdates a time for you to kick back and relax while your child is finally, blessedly, occupied? Don’t let yourself off the hook that easily, you slacker. Don’t you know your kid’s popularity and self-esteem are riding entirely on your ability to be the hook that draws friends back to your house as easily as dirt is drawn to your stupid beige carpeting? Anyway, here are some tried and true ways to be That Mom that kids whisper about, and not just because you forgot to take off your whitening strips and talked with a lisp at pickup.

1. Hover.

Every minute that your kid and his friend play on their own is another minute that can’t be spent on papier mache masks of dinosaurs. I mean, he SAID his friend liked dinosaurs. Look, you can use the popsicle sticks to make skull crests. Expert tip: The older the kids are, the more they like papier mache.

2. Reminisce.

You used to play Barbie too! You had the Dream House and you would make Ken pick Barbie up there to take her to prom. Other times, you would make Barbie and Ken into parents and Skipper was their sassy teenage daughter. You think you actually have some photos of you playing Barbie, if everyone wants to join you in the attic with the albums. It’ll just take a sec.

3. Tell funny jokes.

Expert tip: Teenagers secretly like really corny knock knock jokes. Make sure to have at least 50 at your disposal. If they aren’t laughing by joke #10, bring out the ones that involve puns. Oh wait, that’s all of them!

4. Fit in.

If they’re playing dress up, you play dress up. If they’re playing rock band, you play rock band. If they’re giggling about boys they like in school, in the privacy of your daughter’s room, use a cleverly secreted baby monitor to pick up on their conversation, and yell loudly upstairs: “Josh is definitely cuter!” Total bonding moment.

5. Provide snacks.

Endless snacks. Every time they try to leave, give them something else to eat. Preferably filled with sugar and food coloring. Nothing says, “I’m going to drop my kid off here every afternoon” to parents like a kid stuffed with cookies and Pixie Stix an hour before dinner. Bam, you’ve made your kid a best friend.

Host your book club at the same time as your teenage son has a friend over to play video games. When Martha starts crying about her divorce again, as she’s wont to do after too many sangrias, ask your son’s friend if he agrees that a beautiful woman like Martha will meet a new guy in no time, and one that isn’t a narcissistic controlling jerk. Relatedly…

8. Ask them for advice.

Your daughter’s friend has excellent fashion taste. What would she like more than telling you which of your jeans from ten years ago make you look svelte and which make you look dowdy? It’s fun for everyone. Make sure to tell her that the only reason you gained those extra pounds was comfort eating during that rough patch in your marriage a couple years ago. She’s very wise for a 7-year-old.

9. Invite their parents.

When your child’s friend’s mom excitedly confirms, “This is drop off right? So convenient because you live right by Ikea, and — ” make sure to cut her off and invite her for coffee and homemade pie. Don’t be shy to tell her how you found a special recipe on Pinterest for just this occasion and threw out two pies that came out wrong before this one. It’s so cute when moms and their kids are all friends together.

10. Invite them yourself.

If for some reason, you’ve tried all of the above tactics, and your poor, socially inept child has ended up with fewer friends visiting the house rather than more, don’t lose heart. Reach out to your kids’ friends yourself, via social media, text or, even better, handwritten notes. Don’t let your child become friendless on your watch. And your wedding video isn’t going to watch itself!

Your doctor gives you medical advice. Your mother buys you baby clothes. But who can give you the real story when you’re pregnant? Your best frends, of course – at least, the ones who’ve been through the exhilaration and exhaustion, the agony and ecstasy of pregnancy.

Now, in this newly revised and updated edition, get the lowdown on all those little things that are too strange or embarrassing to ask, practical tips, and hilarious takes on everything pregnant. From learning that you’re expecting (‘Oh my God, how do I get out of this?’) to the day your newborn arrives (‘You mean I have to take it home with me?’), Iovine gives you the low-down on: What Really Happens to Your Body – from morning sickness and gas to eating everything in sight The Many Moods of Pregnancy – why you’re so irritable/distracted/ tired/light-headed (or at least more than usual).

But if Didga was inclined toward performance, she still needed training.

Dollwet also says he’s worked with her tons, using “lots of patience and lots of well-timed food reinforcement.”

And sure, part of the point of putting Didga’s amazing repertoire on display is to advertise Dollwet’s training abilities. (He’s got a pet training business in Australia, now — his canine clients often hang out with Didga.)

But another big aim is getting the world excited about cats. Especially rescue cats like Didga, who currently fill shelters, and might get snatched up a lot faster if folks realized just how much more fun they could be having with their feline friends.

“Cats can learn all sorts of things as long as you have patience and knowledge to teach them the right way,” says Dollwet, who’s put up a couple dozen YouTube tutorials on cat training so you and your cat can enjoy all sorts of hobbies together as well.

Dollwet probably doesn’t mean to brag too much here, either, but he really can’t help himself: Didga is top cat — a “great companion” — in that department, too. And he’s got an Instagram feed full of photos to prove it.

“Her tricks are taught over weeks, months, even years. Just a little bit every day,” Dollwet says. “The rest of the time is spent doing normal cat things around my house.”

This is a collection of 14 absorbing short stories on a variety of interesting subjects. In Goodbye Old Friends, an elderly man is faced with losing his beloved team of mules. His health is failing and the care and companionship of his faithful friends of 15 years is his only reason to continue living. As he sits alone, during the night before the mules are to be taken by his son, he reflects on his long and adventurous life. The final goodbye to his old friends is a heart-wrenching scene. The other 13 stories cover a wide spectrum of subject matter.

If you're whisking your BFF away for her bachelorette this weekend, I suggest you keep this post away from her to avoid party envy: Jessica Chastain, bless her sweet heart, evidently got Chris Hemsworth to…

Matt is Celia’s big brother and I had sex with him in the bathroom at the zoo. I never thought my life story was worth telling until I could say things like that.” Matt and Hannah are getting paranoid. Is Matt’s little sister, Celia, aware of their sinful weekend of passionate sex? Did she hear them in the shower? In the bathroom? In the car? Matt decides to make his last night in town one to remember, but Hannah doesn’t want to let him go. Will Matt choose to betray his sister or his new love? This 3,800 word story contains explicit sexual situations, including fingering, anal sex, and masturbation. EXCERPT I gingerly slid out the door, where Matt was waiting in the hall. “Really?” he asked, exasperated. “Going to the computer lab?” “What?” I said defensively. “I mean, I have a good reason to go there. There’s this essay.” “Hannah,” he said. “It is almost 10PM on a Saturday. Surely they’re not open.” I sucked my lips between my teeth. “Let’s just get going,” I said. “Also,” he added. “You should have waited longer before coming out.” “Matt, we’re fine,” I lied. “She has no idea. How could she ever expect a thing?” “Then tell me why she’s sleeping in the living room,” he challenged. “Because she heard noises,” I said. “But, Matt, she thinks they’re the toilet!” “Is that what you told her?” he asked as we bounded down the stairs. “Yes,” I said. “Also a half-truth. It has been weird lately. I just haven’t gotten it fixed.” “So, you really think she knows nothing?” Matt asked, pausing to open the door for me. “Maybe she thinks we like each other,” I said. “But there’s no way in hell she knows what we did.” “Or what we’re about to do,” he contributed. The alarm system of my car delivered a chorus of clicks and beeps. The lights blasted the brick wall of the building. “Get in,” I said slyly. “We’re going for a ride.” Matt sighed. We buckled our seat belts and set out into the night.

For a man in China, the show “Friends” has bled over to his real life. The man — who goes by the name Gunther and has a son named Joey — has dedicated his life to the feel-good vibe of everyone’s favorite New York neighbors.

In a segment for the show “i-D,” director Jordan Stokes follows Gunther, who quit his job to open his own coffee shop dedicated to the show. The Central Perk in Beijing is where Gunther and his fellow “Friends” lovers can watch and talk about the show.

After he went through a bad breakup, Gunther’s friends recommended he watch the show “to soothe his broken heart and teach him how to love again,” Stokes said.
